My husband and I have been following the Keto diet since January 23, 2016. We’ve lost quite a bit of weight, feel loads better (and look better too!), and we are eating way better food.One thing my family really likes is chicken. Just the other day I decided to make Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner. I was a bit unsure how it would turn out or if my family would even eat it. I quickly found that I had nothing to worry about. My daughter, who normally turns her nose up at things before trying it, took one bite and declared it delicious!

Tip…pick up this unique silicone mat to bake your chicken on. It helps crisp that chicken right up!
I’ve never made a traditional chicken cordon bleu recipe before, but I’ve eaten plenty and this, is a very easy Keto chicken cordon bleu recipe that also tastes amazing! And lets face it, with a hungry husband and two hungry kids, I want easy recipes! Lately I have been purchasing thin sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They cook so much faster and I think they taste better. For this recipe, you will want to have those thin sliced chicken breasts. Trust me!
Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts
- 4 slices Ham Lunchmeat
- 4 slices Swiss Cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder, to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Place your baking sheet by placing your silicone baking sheet
on top. So easy!
- Place a piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Set your thin sliced chicken breasts on the plastic wrap and fold the plastic wrap over so it covers the chicken breasts and pound them even thinner.
- Beat your egg and pour it into a shallow bowl. Mix your Parmesan cheese and seasonings together in another shallow bowl.
- Flip your chicken breast over, add the ham and Swiss cheese and roll it up. *Tip…next time I will wrap the cheese IN the ham first and place that on the chicken. I think that will help keep the cheese in better.
- Holding the chicken breast together, dip it into the egg wash and then roll it in the Parmesan cheese mixture. Place it, seam side down, on your baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

What Did We Think?
This recipe will not disappoint! It is the best chicken cordon bleu recipe I have ever had!! I especially liked that it tasted good without mustard. I have a huge aversion to mustard and while I’ve eaten other chicken cordon bleu recipes, I’m always convinced I can taste the mustard (even when I really can’t). One of the nice things about the Keto diet is that casseroles and Keto go nicely together. I’ve seen a Pinterest chicken cordon bleu casserole that I have been dying to make. After seeing how well my family liked this chicken dish, I’m sure I will be able to get them to eat a baked chicken cordon bleu cassrole! I’ll be sure to write up the recipe after I make it and share it with you all.

I just want to let you know that I loved making this recipe. It was so easy, and delicious. I made a couple of mistakes…I am new to cooking…I added additional parm mix to the top of the roll-ups before I put them in the oven which made them a little dry and too crusty, and my ham slices were thinner than my cheese slices so they got a little lost in the taste. So I’ll adjust those things the next time I make your great recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
I’m glad you liked it!! My daughter just asked me this morning when I was going to make this again! I need to get it back on the menu!
Wow – You’ve stuck with the plan for over a year! I’ve just started Keto, so I have a lot to learn. It was recommended by my doctor, so I do what to give it a fair go. Being able to find great recipes like this one, will surely help!
You can totally do it! I’ve now been following it for over 2 years and kept the weight off!! Good luck! I have a lot of recipes on here for Keto too.
Chicken Cordon Bleu is one of my all-time favorite recipes! So wonderful you have put together a Keto friendly recipe for those who need it! I hear so many great things about the Keto diet!
I’ve been living the keto diet for almost 6 mths! This recipe looks so delicious!! I can’t wait to try it out!!
Wow! This one’s a winner.This looks so delightful and tasty. I would love to try making this recipe.
My husband would absolutely love these.
I love chicken cordon bleu. When my kids were little we had it once a week because I could buy them from our local supermarket freshly made but uncooked. We had it so often my kids now cringe anytime I even mention it. But I still love it, and this recipe sure sounds a lot better than those I used to buy at the supermarket.
I can’t wait to try this recipe. I have been putting a list together so I can go into Keto without excuses 😀
